<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The trusted source for over 20 years--activities to help children process and heal from stressful and traumatic events.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>More than 75 empowering and healing classroom activities <p/>Children living with uncertainty and insecurity often have difficulty focusing on learning. They might demonstrate disrespectful or defiant behaviors, act out, or act with aggression. As an educator, you may provide the only stability in their otherwise turbulent world. <p/><i>Making It Better</i> explains trauma-informed education, an approach that recognizes the impact of traumatic stress on children and its effect on the growing brain, and applies the latest neurological research to teaching methods, disciplinary policies, and interactions to support grieving children. <p/>This book responds to the learning and behavioral needs of children who have experienced traumatic events or toxic stress--such as natural disasters, community violence, or abuse or neglect within the child's familial relations--and includes a collection of activities and strategies to help children heal and feel empowered. <p/>Distressed children need absolute emotional security and an opportunity to engage in healing activities. With your help, children can begin to build resiliency and find renewed hope for the future. <p/><p><b>Barbara Oehlberg, MA, </b> is an education and child trauma consultant who has presented for many organizations throughout the country.

Since retirement in 1997, she has become a certified Child Trauma Consultant through The National Institute for Trauma & Loss in Children in Michigan and has presented to over two hundred agency and school staff development sessions. <p/>As a family life specialist with Cleveland Public Schools, Barbara has seen firsthand how domestic violence, child abuse, and stress can affect children's behaviors and learning abilities.

She has facilitated that program in Ohio's schools, churches, and prisons.<br>
